Our Business
Established in 1919, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha Ltd, known as “K” Line LNG UK is a longstanding global Japanese shipping and logistics company.
As a Group, “K” Line has a significant history within liquefied natural gas (LNG) marine transportation, having operated in this field from its head office in Tokyo, Japan, since the late 1970s. With Japan being the world’s largest importer of LNG, all of the LNG marine transportation projects that “K” Line LNG UK was initially involved in were centered around the import of this resource into Japan.For the last decade “K” Line LNG UK has had a strategic business aim to expand its activities into the Atlantic region – to develop and operate from business hubs close to its clients, and as such established “K” Line LNG UK, a 100 per cent subsidiary, in 2005.
